Why do I need the Crispin ShoeCost solution?

- Cost control - costing the production of the design is essential before manufacture. With Crispin ShoeCost you are able to see how overheads, labour, components and parts affect unit cost. Through manual and automatic nesting, you are also able to maximise efficiency of all materials and minimise waste.- Reporting - One you have achieved optimal results with materials and nesting, Crispin ShoeCost can then turn this into a report. The 'drag and drop' functionality means you can fully customise the reports based on your (or your customers) needs. It's also compatible for a variety of currency.- Materials - Crispin ShoeCost allows you to get the most from both synthetic and leather materials. You are able to automatically select quality hide areas for specific pattern pieces. Crispin ShoeCost also allows you to experiment with different materials to see the impact on cost.
